Cut off all my yellow locks.


Roz and Viola mostly. We play guitar, viola and violin. A lot of people sing or drum along. Calypso and Shell admire the bodhran; Jilly - the tin whistle and recorder. Mannie used to play a few hymns and she's not the only one here who likes god bothering music. We love the eerie and unsettling early Anglo-Saxon folk that was so perfectly preserved in that living museum of music: the Southern Appalachians as it was early last century. We have a weakness for Irish-Australian transportation ballads. We are curious about gender travesty especially women in mens' dress a cutting off their yellow locks and why polly never seems to learn not to get herself murdered.

Projects.

1. Musician's Version: Extended with many instrumental breaks to inspire musicians

2. Commercial Version: Hmmmmm.... Maybe just as it is with a different cover, but I would much prefer a decent band version. Perhaps the first step is the existing cd commercially available, that might inspire my sultry band of strumpets....

Original Music Online

If I can figure it out, I plan to post our songs here, in locked posts, with a password.

Don't call me, I'll let you know. How that goes.

Anyway. We've made a cd and we're happy with it. So, that's .... fabulous!

Happy New Year.

Sandy sandfire Soltice

Lulu was there, all the way from the other side, and I played some songs in between courses of vegetarian treats, and all my favourite people were there too, I played "must I go bound" specially for you. And it was all just fine, I played fiddle too and Blue Boy praised the way I lean, observant fellow.

Traveling guitars are weird.

Nobody needs THAT much practice.

A capello

Around a fire. Thea & Bruce. Snowgoose.

Led to an offer by a professional standard singer to sing my songs. Hmmmmm....

Nostalgia Lane.

Played all my songs at Nostalgia Lane, then two of my new ones at the Club. That was nice.

Windy weekend

... and I played all my songs. It was great.
Methodical. All but the easiest three.

Now I just need to start at the beginning of my covers again...

Spoken, word. End.

Well, that was difficult.

The rock came over and that was great.
If only I wasn't so highly strung.

On the upside; we played Oh Marlene. It sounded lovely.
I like the rock's new song a lot.
And Sweet William even complimented me on my viola playing. Rare.
We worked on my performance piece.

If only I could feel something, I'm sure it would feel good.
